| - Western Europe: When Lucie, titular queen of Aquitania/Occitania and last of the Poitou house, dies in exile at the Fois (*OTL Foix) court, her recently widowed brother-in-law Sancho VI of Navarra formally claims the Aquitanian crown by rights of marriage. A Navarrese army reconquers Navarra north of the Pyrenees; duke Lop Guilhem IV of Gascony pays feudal homage to the Navarrese ruler. As Lucie's widowed husband Peyre Berenger, brother of count Bernat V of Fois (*OTL Foix), now claims the crown too, Navarrese forces retake Saragossa, starting the long War of Aquitanian Succession, or Twenty Years' War, that in several bouts of fighting will take place on both sides of the Pyrenees. Northern Europe, Southern Europe: When Rudolph I of Habsburg-Alamannia dies, Albert I inherits Alamannia and Rudolph II inherits Swabia, both with ducal title. While Rudolph II remains nominally loyal to Nogai Khan, Albert soon joins the anti-Mongol rebels. Southern Europe: Count-Archbishop Mattia Della Torre is ousted from Milan by the partisans of his rival Ugo Castiglioni, brother of the Patriarch of Aquileia, Gregorio. It is by this event that the counts of Seprio's indirect control over Milan is first imposed. Mattia and his extended clan flee south to Lodi, under Pallavicino lordship, and will keep on claiming authority over the Milanese church and estates still for some time. Southern Europe, North Africa: Pope John XIX dies in Bardapolis (*OTL Tunis) after a tenure during which the Papacy fell in wide discredit. His successor, appointed by Western imperial will more than by the Cardinals, is bishop Reynard Peyre of Marseille, who takes the name of Francis I to honor the Franciscan monks that took care of him as an orphan. In fear an Ifrigian independence movement could exploit the Papal presence, the aged and sick Western emperor Olympius I has the Papal see trasferred in Palermo, right in sight of the imperial palace. North Africa, Middle East: In compliance of their Caliphist creed, and after finding an “appropriate” line of descent from the Prophet's family, the Mamluks of Egypt-Marisia appoint their sultan Abdurrahman I the One-Eyed as Caliph, a title that will be recognized by Caliphists throughout the Dar al-Islam. The Caliph maintains its capital in Burj al-Maris in upper Egypt. Middle East, Central Asia: The Jews are “purged” from state offices in Ilkhanid Persia/Iran, after pressures from the rival Zoroastrian clergy. In later years they will be persecuted and exiled, finding refuge in the tens of thousands in Yalikid Kurdistan and Hindustan. India: Veera Ballala III ascends the throne of the Hoysala empire, ruling most of SW India.
